Stronger Together

In this episode of Nordonia Together, we sit down with Nordonia High School Principal Louise Teringo to talk about her journey through education—from teaching Spanish to leading schools in Twinsburg, Euclid, and now Nordonia. Louise shares what keeps her grounded, how she builds strong relationships with students and staff, and why school culture matters now more than ever. Whether you're a parent, educator, or community member, you'll walk away with a better understanding of what it takes to lead a high school with both heart and purpose.

In this episode, we sit down with longtime Nordonia High School associate principal Dave Broman—an educator whose name now graces the school cafeteria as The Broman Commons. Known for his unwavering positivity, quiet leadership, and deep commitment to students and staff, Dave reflects on his 23 years at Nordonia, the lessons that guided him, and the legacy he leaves behind.
We talk about the importance of presence, the power of relationships, and why leading with gratitude can make all the difference. Whether you’re in education or simply appreciate stories of impact and integrity, this conversation is one worth hearing.

In this episode of Strong Together at Nordonia, we sit down with Nordonia alumni Catherine and Michaela Bruno—sisters, leaders, and the original founders of Knights Caring for Knights, one of our district’s most impactful student support programs.
Over a decade ago, as high school students, Catherine and Michaela saw a need and decided to do something about it. What began as a simple idea to help fellow classmates has since grown into a trusted, long-standing program that supports Nordonia students and families during times of hardship.
Now living and working out of state—Catherine as a Ph.D. student in Pennsylvania and Michaela as an elementary teacher in Seattle—the sisters reflect on their journey, the lessons they’ve learned, and the legacy they’ve left behind in the community they still proudly call home.
Tune in to hear how compassion, initiative, and a strong sense of purpose helped two students create lasting change.

In this episode, Casey shares insight on the current state of the schools, what makes Nordonia a special place, and offers messages for both longtime and new residents. Dave joins the conversation to discuss the importance of community, the “Stronger Together” vision, and why some tough decisions had to be made. We’ll also look ahead to what’s next—and how you can help shape future episodes.
